we've never used Blueprint in Electron so I wouldn't even know where to start.
@briant-spindance do you have any interest in writing these docs? or at least enumerating the issues we'd have to resolve before BP can be used in Electron?
The 2 things sound orthogonal. @briant-spindance Do you have issues with TS and Electron? You can have a look at https://github.com/claudioc/electron-typescript-react-quick-start or https://github.com/robdaemon/typescript-electron-quickstart
But in any case TS is not required to run blueprint JS.
@briant-spindance we've just kicked off an electron project where we selected blueprint to be the core UI component library: https://github.com/CCI-Tools/cate-desktop. We use TypeScript. One day it will be the GUI for climate analysis toolbox.
Note since we are HTML/CSS/TypeScript beginners, the tools stack is the bare minimum, so no webpack, no babel, we just use tsc and electron builder.
I am using Blueprint in an Electron app without issue (no webpack, using electron-prebuilt-compile, though I'm not sure that makes any difference or not).
maybe an official boilerplate would be a better option. @giladgray I'm quoting from official documentation
It is optimized for building complex data-dense interfaces for desktop applications.
And you say you have never used it with electron? so what do you mean by desktop applications? I have seen many electron apps use ant design. Why someone should choose blueprint instead? (In the context of desktop app)
Would be nice to have some docs for getting Blueprint up and running with Electron.
